cc cream

Have you tried a CC cream yet? Three weeks ago, I started using the Yes to Grapefruit CC Cream, and so far, I'm loving how it makes my skin look. I picked up a bottle after my skin had this crazy, freak-out moment following a trip to Palm Springs. While on vacation, my skin became dry and flaky and I had a smattering of spots. After I got home, I started using this CC cream (which stands for color-correcting) and my skin evened out pretty quickly. Now that my face is back to normal, the cream goes on even more smoothly and is a quick way to fake perfect skin (without wearing a heavy foundation). The product is advertised as a way to correct skin tone, increase luminosity, and promote smoother skin. I found all three of these claims to be true with my skin. If you want to check it out for yourself, it's $15.99 at Target. Have you tried a CC cream yet? Will you give this one a shot? read more

Now, wait for it--DD creams are coming!
